Meet Luke McCann, a Vice President at Valuation Research Corporation and a person who stutters. Luke performs a wide range of financial advisory work in the business valuation sector.

In this educational, high energy and yes, at times emotional (that's Brian!) podcast, Luke shapes how:

• He moved from just focusing on tools to focusing on tools and acceptance.
• His powerful experience working with his speech pathologist
• How voluntary stuttering helped him with desensitization
• How disclosure makes him feel more authentic.
• And most importantly... how his stutter makes him unforgettable!

Luke Graduated from Baylor University, holds both a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) designation and an Accredited in Business Valuation (ABV) credential. He is passionate about staying active and engaged in my community.
